RE: The Grind...
I painted my headers with VHT Flame Proof paint, its rated 1300-2000° and is holding good. I dont know that i'd worry about rust on the inside, but u could probably spray it in there too. The first time i painted them i used Duplicolor header paint and it flaked off immidiately, garbage.

RE: The Grind...
I ground the exrta out of the inside of my headers...every little bit helps right?? It shouldn't rust on the inside, and if they do you have other problems considering the inside of the engine is bare steal. It should get coated in cabon in no time anyway.

RE: The Grind...
Well...I didn't think there was much to worry about inside the header itself. Little to no water going through it and if there were I'd have a lot more to worry about than a rusted header right? lol
Any way...thanks a lot guys.
One more question...
Once I do get that fox, I plan to swap out the h/c/i and put a procharger on it. Now, I know the pistons are forged but how will my internals handle the power. I'm thinking with the correct combo and charger I will be putting 'around' 350 to the wheels. Rough estimate. But would it be worth the price to get some stronger rods and pistons? Maybe even a lighter crank?
I've seen some small stroker kits like 306 and what have you. Do the kits like that include some pretty hard to beat internal parts?
Thanks for the time,
Collin

BTW, a 306 is a .030 bored over 302, not stroked. A 331 and 347 stroked 306.
